Newtec to expand SES service offering

Satellite equipment specialist Newtec has announced that its latest broadband equipment is playing an important role in further expanding the SES Broadband Services service offering. Newtec’s Ka-band VSAT technology will make it possible for ISPs to access the SES Broadband satellite network and services provided by additional Ka-band hubs at the company headquarters in Betzdorf. This collaboration is a further step in the on-going development of SES Broadband service based on the company’s ASTRA Ka-band capacity. Newtec is planning to ship the first orders of their latest MDM2200 Ka consumer terminals which will be delivered to various ISPs who distribute the SES Broadband service. Those ISPs will offer interactive satellite broadband throughout Europe, offering voice, data and television services in areas where there is insufficient terrestrial broadband connectivity. 

CEO of Newtec Serge Van Herck said that ‘We are delighted to be moving ahead with our first operational Ka-band service on SES Broadband Services’ network. Ka-band is vastly improving the broadband experience for both consumers and enterprise users. Newtec’s equipment is designed to ensure the best performance under any conditions, with a proven track record and at an affordable price point”.
